Should play King Edward VI
I know he's in a Tudor drama at the moment (Wolf Hall) but he's the spitting image of King Edward VI (Henry VIII's son by Queen Jane Seymour).
SHAKESPEAR - GOT IT ?? After GOT, Legion. etc., and "Thomas" as portrayal of actual historical Secretary to the other Cromwell, and later to Henry, are we not awaiting SHAKESPEARE involvement from this actor/person with his intensity, deep involvement in roles, and lasting attractiveness which will pursue him through the years to come.
Your Hamlet will be epic!
Director's skills will come to the fore with further experience as time goes by.
Portray in time what attractiveness is a given and allow time to show you what depth and honesty can be achieved in this seemingly ongoing interim.
Do not squander ...
Astonish us.
